Dog Walking in Marion

About: Hi! My name is Madison and I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! I have had dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own, Willow and Daisy. From volunteering at local animal rescues to previous work at a doggy daycare center, I have experience with a broad range of temperaments and can quickly adapt to meet the needs of individual pets. As a pharmacy technician, I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medical needs such as insulin or medication. I work full time and am able to stop before and after work. My shifts are about 8 hours with a 1 hour break if an additional stop is needed during this time. I am able to adjust my out of work schedule in order to prioritize your pet! I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in my care by maintaining a pet-friendly, secure environment. At my home, I ensure all potential hazards (like toxic plants or dangerous objects) are kept out of reach, and I provide designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding routines, diet, and preferences, while also ensuring their home is safe and comfortable for the pet. I aim to establish trust through clear communication, regular updates, and by respecting the pet's needs and boundaries, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease throughout my care.

“Tuna can’t wait for Jeanette to arrive in the morning. Jeanette is very sweet to her and understands how to handle an older and less active dog. The relationship to date has been excellent.”

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.

“Beckett is wonderful! She is kind and my dogs loved her right away. She was able to accommodate a last minute need for a dog walker and really helped me out, especially with my oldest dog who is very headstrong and not everyone is able to handle her. I highly recommend Beckett!”

“She helped us out while our normal walker was away for the week! She was so kind to our pup. She absolutely loved her!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for pets was second nature. From dogs and cats to farm animals, I’ve learned how to handle all kinds of temperaments and routines with patience and confidence. I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them attention, comfort, and consistency while you’re away. Your fur baby will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I work from home during the day and pick up evening shifts serving, which means I’m around most of the time and your pets won’t be left alone for long. I’m a homebody at heart, so I can provide plenty of attention, snuggles, and care throughout the day. Your furry friends will always have company, playtime, and supervision while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment with a fully fenced-in yard and plenty of indoor space for play and relaxation. Whether it’s supervised outdoor time, cozy indoor snuggles, or gentle walks, your pets will have room to explore and feel at home. You can trust that they’ll be cared for with attention, consistency, and lots of love while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. We have had many different breeds. I have recently started caring for my friend and family's dogs at our home and doing daily drop ins for family member's cats when they are gone! I am a homeschool mom of 3 so am home all day. Your pup will have lots of love from me and my 3 girls all day (under my supervision of course!) I have a large, fenced in yard to play in and a friendly and very playful Frenchton that would love to be a playmate! We also live off a trail for walks!

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

About: I love working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, especially active and strong pups. My girlfriend has a 65-lb pit/chow/shar-pei mix who’s rowdy and mouthy, and I regularly walk, run, and help reinforce his training — including structured E-collar use and calm-lead handling. I’ve also dog-sat for both small and large breeds, including crate-trained dogs, and have experience managing pets during busy neighborhood walks and on hiking trails. Dogs feed off energy, so I stay calm, confident, and patient to help them feel secure — but also love matching high-energy dogs with play time, running, fetch, and mental stimulation. Whether your pup needs exercise, structure, or cuddles while I work remotely, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for 20+ years and currently have two senior kitties. I’m comfortable giving oral medication, trimming nails, and helping nervous or older cats feel comfortable. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, feedings, and attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to walk or play with pets, and I enjoy starting mornings with walks or runs. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, outdoor time, and companionship. I can adjust my work schedule around pets’ routines so they stay comfortable, relaxed, and on their normal schedule. Weekends are also flexible, and I’m happy to do morning, midday, and evening visits or overnight stays when needed. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and structure I follow for my own animals. I keep doors, gates, and crates secure, follow owner instructions closely, and maintain a calm environment so pets feel safe and relaxed. I learn each pet’s routine, comfort levels, and body language, and I adjust to what helps them feel at ease. I follow leash rules on walks, only use approved training tools, and never introduce treats, food, or toys without the owner’s permission. I give updates, photos, and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in your home.

About: I have a great attention to detail and love animals dearly, so your fur babies will be in great hands under my care. I am a quick problem solver and a great communicator. I am able to care for pets outside of my contracted work hours (830am-500pm) Monday through Friday and then I am fully available Saturday through Sunday. I always check the surroundings for potential risks, but also ensure that the environment is comfortable for the pets as well. I like to leave out their favorite toys and blankets and give lots of cuddles.

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I am a stay-at-home mom, I am home and available to meet the needs of pets with all different schedules. I am constantly in the mode of enrichment. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

“I absolutely love Brianna and Brandon’s patience with my timid dog, Dollie. Thank you for understanding her ques and meeting her where she is. By providing her space she is quickly warming up after her first walk! Thank you!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I work full-time from home, same employer for over 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for bookings or cancellations, and able to travel as far as needed (within reason). My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
